Thats why i check 100 times now before i share it
Recently saw on ebay very cheap mobo.

sorry to hear that fshami you are good to devving on this device

I just can't understand how this happens!
I installed on my device tons of unsucssesfull ports, crappy ports that i was working on, but in the worst scenario it freezez at HTC logo...
It should be a way to unbrick it, there is a way, as for jtag, there is a hard way... You need to dissassemble the phone, find the real JTag and flash the ROM directly to the memory, this usually renders the phone antenna useless on many phones, but there is a way. If the computer detects any activity of the phone when it is connected, then there should also be a way to revive it (there is one on Dell Streak 5, there was one on Nokia N95, and there are for many devices, those 2 are the ones i tested). Don't know for sure how to help, but i'm sure that something can be done, and changing the vold.stab through adb doesn't seem like the thing that will brick your device...
Just for the info, did you guys used S-OFF or not? , if yes, what variant of it
P.S: There is always a way, don't be lazy to state: srry, change mobo, as long as the physical parts ar intact, there is a way to unbrik it (i don't have a bricked phone but i will look into it)

There no other way to wake it up. Cuz this bricking the memory on mobo. That i hear fron my friend who's working in htc poland service.

Well, i really believe there is a way, as i don't think a software thingy can physically damage the memory of the device in such a way that it renders it useless, htc service or not, i'm a skeptic
Also, could you please tell me if you used S-OFF and or what variant of HBoot (1.25 or 1.28)
NOTE: I sent a PM to AdamOutler regarding this issue, he is a specialist in unbricking devices, so, we will know if something can be done, maybe he will need a device, a bricked one will do i think, so if some of you would want to send him one, if he accepts to work on it, it would be nice

Just as i thought... Because when you use S-ON you need to do some things from fastboot, and fastboot is pretty nice interface to brick your phone.
Because of this, use S-OFF, "God" made it for a reason

Well, my thoughts were right then... As fardjab's hboot is not fully S-OFF.
Don't know why you people didn't use fully S-OFF if it is available, and it is easy to install too....

Maybe AdamOutler will like to give it a ride, if you would like to send it to him, if he accepts to make some unbricking thingy.
Or you can give to HTC and i will write a big HEADS-UP on my multi tool to warn people about possible bricking when using S-ON.

I had something similar last week. I have sent my phone to HTC for repair. My phone is 9 months old. I will see what HTC say about warranty.
It was S-Off with unlimited.io

I still can't understand how you people managed to brick it... I tried many weird things on it, like flashing the CM9 for Xperia Arc with no modifications, and i still hadn't brick it, it just frose on boot and that's all of it...

Try doing the same as i did.. lolz. I had a DHD for an year messed it up every possible way but no bricking..
For runnymede worked fine with my experiements for 6 months or so.. but while playing with vold.fstab it died..
i remember one of the 3M team guys mentioning the same thing earlier that his device died while playing with vold.fstab
anyhow whats done is done.. so its time to wait n c

Well, to avoid this from happening again, include the right vold.fstab in a flashable zip.
So, beware of the big brick

Reboots and no radio

Ok so my usb port broke off so I was using a razr well my daughter broke that by throwing it... so with no phone I grabbed my D4 I pulled the battery charged it to like 3% put the battery back in and powered it up... I made a Frankenstein cable that will charge it via the inductive charging pins... came back a few hours later to see it was charged... so there's the back story... now my issue it will not recognize the sim card says no service no sim card... so I switch back to stock (i was on avatar) same on stock no service no sim... but the stock reboots like every 2-20 mins never the same time frame... avatar it'll go all day with out a reboot... I get my new phone in 2 days but I go back to work tomorrow and need a phone... I have fr the stock ROM, put the sim in a different phone it does work... Put a different sim in mine it did not.... On avatar I Swapped sims, fr full wipe and reflash ROM fixed permissions... I am really at a lose here... I thank you kindly for any in put..

Try both maybe holding it u dear the light method first then try charging for a few days

QHSUSB_DLOAD is Qualcomm High Speed USB Download mode. It is how HTC puts software onto the phone. A few phones have came back from in with no explanation as to why, but most are hard bricked. There is no know fix other than sending it to HTC. They will replace the phones main board and reflash it. It is not a warranty repair, so you'll have to pay for it.

btw if i send it to HTC for repair how many it will cost? hmm, i just thinking, about giving another explanation to htc when i send it to him, if i say "it has bricked after a few minutes since i update from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2" does htc will trust that? if htc doesnt trust that, how htc know if my phone already unlocked and tampered? because the phone doesnt want to boot at all ._.

There is a reason every developer includes a disclaimer with their software. You chose to unlock the bootloader, you chose to run modified software, and now it falls on you to accept responsibility for a bricked device. HTC may fall for that line, but I doubt it. The 4.2.2 updates been out for a while now and there have been no reports of it bricking phones, where as several devices running custom roms have had this happen. More than likely HTC will see through the bull**** story. But who am I to be your moral compass? Go ahead and give it a try. Let us know how it goes.

i think i wanna to try that, because if the repair cost over $50, i think i will be really confused to consider repair it nor not. btw if i buy JTAG, how much JTAG and other thing i need for it will be cost?
oh, btw if i send it to HTC and give a bull*** story, and he's not believe in that, then i need to cost for the repair, probably how much it will cost for the repair?

I've heard different reports of the cost, but its always over $200 US.
I wouldn't recommend JTAG on the One. The body is almost impossible to get apart without damaging it.

$200 to bring it back from a hard brick is not surprising, especially since HTC seems to be the only ones capable of this....

Well your One is basically a fancy paperweight the way it is, and if they'll do it under warranty great. Two months is a long time, but at least its not $200.

Need some advice

Hey guys and girls of the xda community
I just wanted some advice on flashing a custom rom if possible?
My doubts and concerns arose when my first HTC one wouldn't charge whatsoever, and since then I'm a little bit sceptical about flashing a custom rom in case it happens again in which case HTC or my network provider won't replace my phone again.
Is the whole "not charging" thing related to hardware or software?
Just wanted some advice before I get back "in the game" for the want of a better phrase
Thanks guys and girls

I've had my One 5 months now and when I got it I vowed to keep it stock.... a week later I was up and running with ARHD and have run every version since then without any charging issues. Don't know if this will help your decision.

I can't say one way or the other to be 100% sure.... wait and see who else reponds

I got my one in March 2013, flashed it to death, including GPe conversion.
Then after many months I got a charge problem.
Phone would charge extremely slowly when screen on, no more than 200 to 300mA.
My first thought was I had caused with error in flash. I had two genuine HTC charger, one new with HTC One and other from One X. Swapping chargers didn't help.
Eventually ordered another genuine HTC charger and cable,result charges at 800 to 900+ mA when screen on.
Problem solved: cost £16 ($25)

I have messed with with roms and jailbreaks a ton and have never had any issues that made me think I broke it. You probably had a hardware issue and were just hypersensitive. There are some software options on a few of the roms to allow quick charging. I bet you 10 to one you had a legit hardware issue or your charging gear was bad. The cords break all the time around the entrance to the phone....iphone android doesnt matter. They all fail to reenforce these areas of the chords. I would start there.

[Q] My Inc S reboots automatically

Hi,
I am using JB 4.1.2 by szezso.
Everything work but my phone reboots automatically without me even touching it.
That happens quite often.
Any reason?
Thanks,
Arslan

This may be a little late post, but I found some papers in my HTC incs box...
It showed me this: auto-reboot issue...
The phone was still under warranty back then and has been replaced with another one...
I guess, if you still have warranty left... Just relock ur phone and bring it in... Or sell it as defect and buy a new one if u want...
